Weight Loss with Hypnosis

“I have never tried hypnotherapy before. I had heard about other people’s success stories but the idea of being hypnotized was a little intimidating to me. In late April I found my voice and gave Jean a call. I booked an appointment and at that point in my mind, there was no turning back. Jeans office is conveniently connected to her house. It is immaculate, accessible and professional. There is a peaceful comforting vibe; I was immediately at ease. My primary goal was to lose weight and keep it off. After that, I had hopes for better sleep and less stress. I am very happy to say that I have achieved these goals and more with my work with Jean.

Here are the facts: The weight loss this time around has been a unique journey, not like any other “diet” I have tried in the past. With ease, I have lost over 20 pounds and I am still counting. Losing weight this way has not been stressful or tedious. It has been a steady process enabling me to manage the food challenges in my life. My BMI has gone from 32 – 26 in less than 5 months. I have lost 4 inches around my waist and 2 inches around my hips. I have reduced my sleep meds by 2/3rds. I cannot say enough about how improved my sleep is. I am motivated to exercise 4-5 times a week and my stress levels and stress eating are way down. I feel like I have control over my life even when faced with the daily challenges at work and home.

To the process, Jean is a listener, she is experienced, intuitive and caring. In each session she thoughtfully gets to the obstacles and hurdles that are impacting my progress. She translates what we talk about before hypnosis into a personalized session. Honestly for me, it has been a transformational experience. When we are done, I leave her office refreshed and relaxed, I feel like anything is possible. I listen to the tapes from our sessions 1 to 2 times a day and am very excited about continuing this journey to a happier, more successful, well rested and in control of my destiny me.”

“Just went for my dress fitting for my son’s wedding. I am down two dress sizes! I even had to have it taken in in a few spots. So excited! I feel like after a lifetime of struggling I am finally getting my eating under control!

I am very grateful for your help and support. I have continued to eat well. A few exceptions but I feel like that is the way it should be.

The wedding is about a month away. I will be continuing these changes for me! Thanks again.”

“Just wanted to let you know that I’m still doing great. My weight loss is at 36 pounds. I’m still walking most days and I can’t believe how my whole way of eating has changed. I have to admit I still go off track every once in awhile but go right back on track. I am down 2 sizes in my pants and one size in my shirts. What a difference it has mad in the way I feel. I can’t thank you enought. Once again, thank you so much for all the help.”

“I have just completed a delightful set of private and very effective sessions with wonderful Jean Conway. Her help with my weight loss worked like a charm! I’ve lost 30 pounds effortlessly, with the gentle, meaningful and professional guidance of Jean’s individual and specific advice and skills. She is easy to talk with, compassionate and straight-forward. Jean helps change your relationship with food, while offering new diet directions. She reminds you that this is about YOU making the choices that YOU really want. It’s about your own empowerment, which we all can use a little of…or a lot!

When people notice the weight change, they ask what you have done. I tell them that there is no calorie counting, no treadmill, no endless internal cycles of denying yourself and feeling guilty if you indulge. Hypnosis gives you the will power to make the changes you want to make. I tell them that there is really one simple word for Jean’s weight loss program. EASY. Those two words, “diet” and “easy” don’t usually go together, but they do with Jean’s help. It asks only that you truly participate and that you be aware. Like I said… easy.

Thank you, Jean, for a new body and, more importantly, a new friendship.”

“I went to Jean for an eating disorder that I’ve struggled with since I was a child. I tried hypnosis several times but it never really worked. Endless talk therapy sessions also did not produce any real results. It has now been one month since I first visited her, and the behaviors I suffered from daily have completely halted. Not one incident in 30 days. As well we worked on healthy food choices and I find myself gravitating towards those choices for my meals, while completely dismissing, without any struggle, other foods that cause me to gain weight and feel sluggish. I highly recommend Jean.

I can see she has a unique ability to reach those issues that lie deep within.”

“5 Path Works! I lost 60 pounds! Hypnosis changed my life. I feel liberated, unburdened, grateful and happy. In early 2004 Jean Conway, Advanced Certified Hypnotherapist, introduced me to the 5 Path Technique and suggested that I would find some benefit in it. Surprising myself, I agreed to try it and we began the process of tuning up my emotional well being in a series of afternoon sessions that typically lasted a little over a couple hours per session for about five weeks.

In the 5 Path sessions, Jean used hypnosis to guide me back to parts of my life that were instrumental in the development of my personality. Unlike direct suggestion sessions, where she did all of the talking, Jean asked me specific questions about events in my life and more importantly how the events impacted my emotional well being. As I responded, Jean guided me back in time to some very early experiences. Like peeling an onion, she coached me, pulling back the layers of emotional baggage that I had been carrying for years and years.

During these sessions we typically found and confronted a single issue that had a profound negative effect on my early emotional development. Using the 5 Path technique Jean then framed the remainder of the session to first; render the event inconsequential, and then to move on from the event in a positive and constructive manner. Interestingly, we examined the events from my point of view when the event took place, and then from my aged perspective. In comparing the two points of view, I was able to see how minor the event really was in comparison to my life today, and then to move on. After each session, Jean gave me a mental exercise as part of the 7th Path Self Hypnosis practice to repeat daily to reinforce the good work we had done. As the weeks went by, the exercises added onto each other, one by one, and this little ritual had a great calming affect and clarified my focus in day to day living.

I didn’t do this on a whim or because I felt emotionally scarred or defective but rather to see if there were events in my life that were affecting my present day thinking and behavior. I was floored by what we found and more importantly conquered. In a follow up session to the 5 Path Technique, we tackled a life long problem in a single session that had chronically bothered me. It has not returned and I believe it never will.
I believe in luck and consider myself a lucky person but I have good luck and bad in roughly equal amounts. I was extraordinarily lucky to have stumbled on Jean and the 5 Path Technique when I did because for the past 10 months I have needed not only tremendous coping skills but the calm and focus that 5 Path offers. One of my immediate family members took ill quite seriously and was hospitalized for over 6 months and has not recovered completely and never will. It has been a very traumatic 10 months juggling a career, the illness, and other family needs. While the load is so very difficult, life is manageable by the skills that I have acquired under the guidance of Jean Conway. Somehow my life is in balance and getting better but I can only imagine what it would be like if I had been dealt this hand two years ago.”

“I lost 50 pounds with a positive attitude. The sessions are so much more than weight loss!”
